Taylor Swift has broken her long-held public political silence in an Instagram post encouraging her followers to vote in the November midterm elections and slamming Republican Tennessee representative Marsha Blackburn.
In the past Ive been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now, Swift began the post, which was accompanied by a moody, black-and-white photo of the superstar.
I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country, she wrote. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.
I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love, the post continues.

She should have kept her politics in her closet. I didnt want or need to know about her political views.
Swift is just another liberal star and theyre dime a dozen in this country.
Taylor who?
Pop strumpet who spent the fewest days in school allowed by law is here to lecture us on complex political issues.
Does any freeper think public or private high schools are wonderful places to spend maximum hours in as possible?
What,pray tell,is a “Taylor Swift”?
After 2 years she decides to tell the American public that we should go back to sucking hind tit since she’s already rich.
ESTS
Shell be fine
The Dixie Chicks would have survived in 2018
More hard libs here now than ever and incorporating far out identity issues
Shut up and don’t sing either!
shes no one and we dont care...
What a maroon....
....silly dip
Spare me lady. We think for ourselves in my family and we universally think that your music is very mediocre. Now we know that you are as dumb as a box of rocks as well.
She is all in on identity politics
Thats not good
Taylor,
The left doesn’t care about LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, refugees, illegals, children or people of color. Only power.
Conservatives have done nothing to hurt people from the above listed groups.
Oh well...
I've always suspected she leaned liberal. I mean, look what she does for a living and who she hangs out with. Nonetheless, I appreciated her keeping her politics to herself.
I suppose the days of being permitted to keep your politics to yourself are over. Everyone has to pick a side now and let the chips fall where they may.
In the grand scheme of things, losing Taylor Swift is a small price to pay for all the winning.
Deep down I knew this was coming with the Time Person of the Year thing.
It is respectful to conservatives at the end.
How can we ignore Tayor’s Swifts soaring intellect?
wardaddy you rarely make stupid comments
I guess there’s a first :)
I’m from the north as are many here.
For that matter, I can ask ‘were you one of those southern faggots who hid behind closed doors while your statues were taken down, hiding like bitches?” :)
Because In NYC we Italians went crazy when we heard de blasio was thinking of taking down the Columbus statue.
It’s still up and that nonsense talk is gone.
See we Italians from the NORTH don’t just talk :)
ciao
A lot of actresses and singers have had abortions, or at least want them legal just in case.It’s considered a career risk for a female performer to take any time off in their prime.
Nooooooooooo!!!!!!
Blackburn is in big trouble, and it didn't help that Bredesen slyly (and disingenuously) said he would have voted for Kavanaugh.
Good job!!!!!!!!!! :-)
